JR motorsports has money issues it looks like as the only sure FT ride they have is Smith for next yr. and Dale JR PT and they both will run Daytona so that leaves the 7 car and Whitt is their priority for that car IF they find sponsors that is? Therefore they have NO cars left for Tony S or Danica although its almost certain now per many reports she wont be with JRM anymore--(makes ME happy). Course if its true RCR wants her for PT NNS then she will want to run Daytona as well so how many cars do they have if they give the 33 to Tony S for Daytona? It really IS silly season in Nascar.

Also its ben rumored quite a bit that Kelly may step down from running JRM as she has had enough of it and Jr said he wasnt going to put any of his OWN dollars in the team so Hendricks may infact take over the team sooner or later--whether it matters or not? Also we saw yesterday in NNS Hendricks brought his entire CUP 88 team, CC and crew for Smith who won the NNS race after a 2 yr drought for JRM. Course Iam not a fan of Cup drivers or Cup CC & crews even being allowed in NNs but thats a different debate, course next yr Smith will have to deal with the lame JRM CC and crews so good luck with that, unless they demote Steve Latarte and crew down to NNs FT that is?.

Smith does seem to be a good driver as when he filled in for Jr, infact he may be better according to some? Rumors of course have said Smith may take over the 88 Cup ride at some point, and maybe this NNs ride is a stepping stone back up to the Cup 88 eventually? I cant imagine Hendricks dumping Jr anytime soon but --maybe Jr will take himself out sooner then later as he looks like he is on a down hill slide now but I could care less as iam not a JR fan.
